"You may recall that in the run-up to the 2010 election that would usher in 13 years of Conservative rule, one of David Cameron’s strongest attack lines against the then Labour prime minister, Gordon Brown, was that he 'didn’t fix the roof when the sun was shining'. It now emerges that the Conservatives didn’t fix the roof when they knew it was crumbling."

"Suella’s is the carefree self-satisfaction of someone convinced they can stay awful way longer than you can stay angry."

The delightful Marina Hyde on Gwyneth Paltrow vs a wealthy optician -- the ski accident case.

"Did Gwyneth Paltrow ski into a retired optometrist? I couldn’t care less, but the farce is unmissable".

"If there were ever a right time to marry #RupertMurdoch, you’d have to say him being 92 was close to it. Though him being 110 would be better. As for what you get the couple who have everything as a wedding gift: anything other than a defibrillator."

The wonderful Marina Hyde on the paedophile Andrew's forlorn attempt at making a public comeback.

"I don’t know about you but I always pay a reported £12m to settle a case out of court, when all I really want is for its claims to be heard in a court."

Includes details of "the bath photograph" recently released by Ghislaine's brother Ian Maxwell. These are seriously creepy people.

"Levelling up now turns out to be a sort of inter-constituency Squid Game, in which MPs who voted for various stripes of self-harm are now forced into trial-by-combat against each other in the hope of appealing to the caprices of shadowy gamesmaster Michael Gove."

What a great explanation from #MarinaHyde

@sirenoftitan I like #marinahyde. But, it is really hard to satire what is happening #irl

I LOVE Marina Hyde’s writing. She never fails to raise a smile. Who am I kidding, a cackle.

All hail Jeff Bezos the philanthropist! The rest of us will just keep paying our taxes.
